Working together, I will support you to identify and value your innate talents and strengths, to unlock your future and propel you forward… in the uniquely right way for you.

Crucially, I do not hold the answers: you are the expert of your own situation, challenges and ambitions. What I bring to the table is the opportunity to explore new ideas and solutions, empowering you to find your own inspiration and motivation, supporting you as you experiment with new ideas and practices. 

My coaching focuses on creating the time and space to enable you to ask questions of yourself, to challenge yourself and to explore your responses and ideas in a resourceful and resilient way. Together we will set effective goals, probe the root causes of whatever has brought you to this conversation and identify effective, exciting paths forward. Without judgement, assumption or pre-determined outcomes, we will work together in absolute confidentiality, building a partnership and rapport that will enable you to speak openly and freely, giving you the courage and confidence to examine your values, strengths and purpose, and to unlock your potential… for whatever lies ahead, and wherever you are going.

My sweet-spot is working in the spaces where the personal meets the professional, whether that’s the transition back into work after parental leave, identifying opportunities for promotion or career progression, preparing to move on from a role or supporting leaders with the inherent loneliness and responsibility that they carry in their roles. I have worked with clients across the arts, education, healthcare and charity sectors, from programme managers to Company Directors and freelance creatives.

The coaching challenges and topics that we have tackled together include: 

  • Career change, Transition & Progression  

  • Return to Work, Parental Leave & Redundancy

  • Job-Seeking & Interview Preparation

  • Identifying Values & Strengths, Meaning & Purpose

  • Rebuilding Confidence

  • Imposter Syndrome

  • Fear of Failure

  • Personal & Professional Change

  • Performance Anxiety

  • Working through Organisational Change & Ambiguity

  • Freelance Business Development

  • Navigating Complex Relationships & Team Dynamics

  • Preparing for Difficult Conversations

  • Leadership Development & Support

  • Resilience & Self-Care

  • Personal Finance Management

  • Loneliness

  • Work-life Balance

How I Work

In Person or Online

I am happy to coach in person or online, at your office or mine, or at another central location: as long as we can be free or interruptions and distractions, and can speak privately and in confidence, I am flexible! 

Consultation Session

For all clients I offer a cost- and commitment-free consultation session to establish what coaching is about, the change that you are looking to achieve, how I work and whether we are a good fit for each other: chemistry is everything.

Block Booking

I contract in blocks of four sessions, each being at least an hour long. Other than for previous long-term clients, I do not offer one-off coaching sessions: the rapport and understanding needed for coaching to be successful simply doesn’t lend itself to a quick-fix approach. 

Please contact me to discuss fee structures.

“ I have really valued Susie’s insight, help and direction – it has been invaluable. She has helped me to connect the dots between my personality, situation, skills and ambitions. It’s been an uplifting and reflective experience, which has helped me to view myself in a different way from ever before.”

- Singer-Songwriter, South-East London

“ Working with Susie has enabled me to acknowledge and value some of my natural strengths, and to reassess what I’ve traditionally seen as my weaknesses, finding other ways or angles to look at them. She has helped me evaluate where I currently am in my career and the possibilities for the future… it is so rare and special to be listened to in this way - everyone should have the chance to do this! “

- Learning and Participation Director, Wales

“ Working with Susie has made me examine the basis of long-held opinions or habits, interrogating what is important in my work, what I value, how I envisage the future and apparent contradictions in what I say or do. She has encouraged me to think about what is within my control and what is not, emotionally removing myself from problems outside my control. It has been great to have the space to think more, to be challenged and feel listened to and understood. As a result, I feel clearer about my future roles and the direction ahead. Although Susie has never given me advice, her feedback, reflections and questions have made me confident in the decisions I’m making.”
